Krátky popis
The story of the sixteenth-century’s epic contest for the spice
trade, which propelled European maritime exploration and conquest
across Asia and the Pacific&,nbsp,Spices drove the early modern
world economy, and for Europeans they represented riches on an
unprecedented scale. Cloves and nutmeg could reach Europe only via
a complex web of trade routes, and for decades Spanish and
Portuguese explorers competed to find their&,nbsp,elusive
source. But when the Portuguese finally reached the spice islands
of the Moluccas in 1511, they set in motion a fierce competition
for control.&,nbsp,Roger Crowley shows how this struggle shaped
the modern world. From 1511 to 1571, European powers linked up the
oceans, established vast maritime empires, and gave birth to global
trade, all in the attempt to control the supply of
spices.&,nbsp,Taking us on voyages from the dockyards of
Seville to the vastness of the Pacific, the volcanic Spice Islands
of Indonesia, the Arctic Circle, and the coasts of China, this is a
narrative history rich in vivid eyewitness accounts of the
adventures, shipwrecks, and sieges that formed the first colonial
encounters?and remade the world economy for centuries to follow.
